Historically ignorant parliamentarians are now trying to memory-hole the whole affair.
When Prince Harry dressed up as a Nazi at a fancy-dress party in 2005, it didn’t go down very well. Doug Henderson, the former UK armed-forces minister, went as far to suggest that the young prince should be prevented from joining the army.
How times have changed. In 2005, dressing up as a Nazi at a party was an unforgivable sin. But in 2023, giving standing ovations to an actual Nazi – a former member of the Waffen-SS, no less – is just ‘complicated’.
